Trigeminal neuralgia is episodic and comes and goes. In the past it would go away and I would be relieved but it would come back again. Some people have had reactions to the drugs so they have had to change to something different. There is a TN group on Facebook that I have found helpful. I record my episodes on my calendar so that I can accurately report back to my neurologist. Right now I’m trying accupuncture with my chiropractor. I’m slowly increasing my medication. The Mayo Clinic site has some information. Best of luck and please update us on how you are feeling.
